Here is how to use wget to backup a website static content:
wget --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --html-extension --convert-links --restrict-file-names=windows --domains example.org --no-parent www.example.org/subfolder/ http://example.org/
Here is the explanation of the options:
- –recursive: download the entire Web site.
- –domains website.org: don’t follow links outside website.org.
- –no-parent: don’t follow links outside the directory tutorials/html/.
- –page-requisites: get all the elements that compose the page (images, CSS and so on).
- –html-extension: save files with the .html extension.
- –convert-links: convert links so that they work locally, off-line.
- –restrict-file-names=windows: modify filenames so that they will work in Windows as well.
- –no-clobber: don’t overwrite any existing files (used in case the download is interrupted and resumed).
